Uncertainties

The office where I work has been getting emptier and emptier. We have been speculating about the likely outcomes for a while. That's a polite way of saying that there are rumours of closure. Well the speculation is now official, and we should hear something next week. Maybe a permanent move to work from home, or just off to another floor. Is it worth renewing the season ticket at the end of December? Well at least I'm likely to have some information to work on now. If it means I will no longer work in the basement it will be a good thing. Arriving in our building and going down stairs always takes the edge off the day. On conference calls they talk about the weather (its not JUST a British trait you know!), I say its 72 degrees Fahrenheit, 21 degrees centigrade, the orange wall is orange, and the blue wall is blue. This is mans world, the environment is outside. The temperature is 'ideal', the air is circulated, there is electricity, food (not much) and water, and a gym if you're brave enough. Here man can believe just for a while that he has all he needs. Its a deception! We are the morelocks.
